"Asensio's attack was real, it had nothing to do with reality, but it was real. This created a large short position, one built upon the false expectations created by Asensio's uninformed and biased opinions."

Could you produce some evidence that this is true? I'd be interested and I'm sure others would be too. What you will probably find is that there was already a huge short position before Mr. Asensio arrived on the scene. But if you can prove otherwise, I'll stand corrected.

"You certainly are a confused man."

I beg to differ, Graystone. Here's Patrick's first post on this thread;
207.183.153.73

- a note of caution that turned out to be quite relevant to the stock price performance.

I started following this story and this thread quite closely starting about a year ago, and have read all the posts, clicked on all the links - and Patrick with his hard questions and cautious attitude may have had more influence on my decision to buy a little kry than any other individual. There was a lot of hyping and rah-rah stuff back a few months, and it would have made a lasting negative impression but for a few who had the courage to ask and to investigate things that others at the time would have rather glossed over.
So when Patrick bought back in - that meant something to me.

But then come to think of it, I didn't actually buy shares until the cubano came along -g-
... well, he made them cheaper, so that makes sense ........ cheers ..... marcos

I believe you are the one that is confused. Read my last post again, this time slowly. I DID say the release of the financials could be used by the naysayers (for your info that includes Asensio, but I think he has finished with KRY). Read again. As for the prospects of KRY, you are negative and I am positive. So it is normal that we disagree, no need to get upset! I think that KRY will prevail and that the share price WILL rise over the next several (and I mean several) months. You also would benefit from following a bit more closely what is happening on the POLITICAL scene down there, as you appear confused on this subject. Politics is VERY MUCH a factor with KRY and you would not be wise to chose to ignore this.
